#and like. it does come with downsides. I do not understand other ppl at all. like I can keep up with them and read them but past that? nope!
some of my fav p3 hcs:
☆ junpei takes on a big brother role with ken. lending him manga and video games rated teen/mature that he knows contain content that is okay for his age. taking him out at night to the arcade/for "secret" menu items. sneaking fun snacks into his room so he has something to feast on besides milk. this makes ken feel seen as an equal rather than as a child bc junpei is so genuine in his antics that it doesn't feel belittling/mothering.
☆ mitsuru begins truly seeking out her own style after she + yukari deepen their bond in november. at first, this results in some truly horrendous outcomes bc yukari wanted mitsuru to select what she liked for once instead of a stylist choosing for her. it comes to a head when mitsuru walks out one sunday wearing a red leather jacket, tan cargo pants, a retro graphic tee, and crocs. she eventually lands on a casual alternative style under yukari's strict guidance.
☆ akihiko is prone to forgetting about things outside of his goals or the people he cares for. this leads to many situations where he finds himself standing head empty, no thoughts in the middle of the grocery store or during casual conversation with family/friends/acquaintances. his tell that he's forgotten something is the tips of his ears turning bright red. when younger, he'd steal shinji's beanie to cover them out of self-consciousness. his notes app is clogged with dozens of nonsensical ramblings such as "milk" or "sun outside" in an attempt to remember such things.
I LOVE THESE 😭😭😭
junpei (along w yukari, minato/kotone, fuuka, n aigis) being older siblings to ken is so important to me… idk how to explain but it just hits different …!!!! i love when ken shows up and junpei wants to be his older brother so bad lmfao. i feel like him (and the other second years) being closer to ken’s age makes it easier for them to understand him so it’s way easier for them to get along. only downside is junpei cannot help ken with any of his work. it could be the easiest problem youve ever seen and junpei will be like “sorry i cant help you”
the thought of mitsuru not having any sense of style is so funny bc i’ve always just been like “yeah i mean she can probably dress decently on her own” but it would b cute to think she just picks out whatever she likes without thinking if the outfit will actually look good together or not. she sees a funny little cartoon on a shirt and is like This is delightful!!! and grabs it and pairs it with the most expensive and beautiful pants you’ve ever seen. then she wears a hideous pair of shoes to top it all off. without yukari, i imagine she wears her ugly ass outfit to go out to eat w like. aki or something. she shows up n akihiko (who knows how to dress) is just like what the hell are you wearing
now that u say this… akihiko is kinda sim coded. does workouts anywhere he goes. forgets what hes doing the second he enters a room. & omfg. him blushing to the tips of his ears is something i put in my drawings all the time idk if it’s noticeable but i love it so much… + the notes app thing so real but also imagine him sending texts to ppl to remind himself of certain things. mitsuru waking up in the morning to see akihiko texted her “Water” at 3:42 AM. shinji picks up his phone and has 12 notifications from akihiko within seconds of each other (its a grocery list). ken doing his homework and akihiko texts him “Koromaru” and nothing else (he needs to take koromaru for a walk later)

I'm sorry but Kaylor Tumblr is an echo chamber right now, and dumb echo chamber at that.
Everyone including Swifties have been bored of the pap walks Taylor has been doing with her friends since after the first two or three she's done after dumping Toe, nobody wants to see Taylor do the same boring pap walks with the same boring people at the same boring restraunts while the vast majority of people think that her current street style looks like complete crap.
Swifties were so bored of all this boring shit that Taylor's doing for the 1989 TV rollout that a lot of them were coming up with wild theories about how there is going to be a secret B-side to 1989 TV that has vault tracks with titles that don't sound boring as shit and collabs with actually cool and interesting celebrities. The excitement Taylor drummed up for Swifties with the Google vault puzzle didn't even last that long, the excitement all died off within two hours of Taylor announcing the vault track names and Swifties went back to coming up with "theories" to try and make 1989 TV and everything around it less boring.
Taylor bearding with this football dude was actually a good move for her to make because now Swifties aren't bored to death over how lackluster the rollout for 1989 TV is anymore and now she's got the attention of people who wouldn't be interested in her without this dude as potential new consumers of her products and the only downside of her doing this was pissing off a miniscule section of her fandom, Gaylors, who have a major issue with too many of them acting like awful over-entitled brats because she's her own person who handles her closet exactly the way she wants to instead of coming out of the closest for the benefits of others even thought Taylor's indicated in her most recent album Midnights that coming out of the closet just so others can benefit is something she has zero interest or intention of doing.
Hello, anon. So, let me see if I got it right. You think everyone was bored and that's why Taylor had to get a beard? That he'll solve all the problems by keeping swifties occupied and boosting her sales? I don't even- lol first, if your fanbase is so thirsty for news or entertainment that they can't sit still for a few weeks, something is wrong in the way you handle them. She's either sending the wrong signals, spoiling them with too much content to the point that when one thing happens (like the vault to solve), they're already antsy for the next thing. Did they forget about the year she spent away?? Maybe they need reminding. If you kept up with her during 2014-2015, you'll remember what it was like the 1989 era - she did promote that album a lot. It worked and she didn't need a guy for it, how crazy. What I think most ppl around me are saying, is that she's the Taylor Swift. She doesn't need a man to boost her numbers. Sure, she's reaching a new territory and a new audience with this stunt, but she doesn't need it to make big bucks. She's at the top of her game, she's reaching a new high every day. Just check the charts or how her concerts are sold out. Not to mention that 1989 is an era based on her being single and happy, her preaching all around about having fun with her friends and enjoying life without a relationship. That seems to have been thrown out of the window now. She could do better promo if she wanted to, bc we've seen it before. Now it seems like even if she just dumped her last beard in the first semester, she can't go more than a few months without a guy. What message does it send, anon? Ppl have every right to be annoyed, even if we do understand she's doing it for even bigger numbers and to have a wider audience. Most of us have been here for years keeping up with her story. As far as I've seen, no one is being an asshole demanding her to come out or whatever. They're just wondering why this same old story again. You're allowed your feelings and opinions, anon, but remember, so are we.

Hey Witches & Wizards,
How’s everyone’s Monday going??
I’ve had several people reach out asking about spells and being afraid to mess them up…well it got me thinking…and prompted this post…
When you find premade spells online, as helpful as they can be, I like to look at them as guides not rule for rule. And what I mean by that is ingredients can be substituted for others, and words can be changed as well. Look at a premade spell as a recipe for something. Perhaps there’s too much of one ingredient or you have an allergy to others…you’d sub them out right? A spell is no different my friends!
No spell is exact well not any premade ones I’ve found. The exact ones come from when you create your own spell with your own intentions put into them. However I completely understand that can be intimidating when first getting started. So if that’s you, I feel your pain. And find no harm in using the general online premade spells. However if your getting further along in your practice and want to write up your own….continue reading…
Let me let you in on a few tips….I plan my spells around the moons phase. I mean in my opinion if the moon has enough sway with Mother Earth to effect tides, moods, monthly cycles, etc it’s gotta do the same for spells energy and intentions, as each phase has different energy intentions right? So why not put the moons energy into good use right?? On the other hand tho there is a downside to being tied to moons energy phases….spell timing! Especially when you get those urges to wreck havoc 😉😝 🤣 and do those unsavory little spells…you know which ones I’m talking about 🤣🤣 Bottom line though I mean the moon is important in my opinion and my path, that’s not true for everyone else and I get that completely🤗 just offering some friendly advice.
Timing is another important factor to consider as well. Is your spell seasonal? Is it important to do at a certain time when the moon/sun is in a certain astronomical orbit? I know, now I’m getting technical about this but in my opinion timing does matter as well. Why? Well the saying goes…when the time is just right, the magick will flow perfectly. Having timing connects us to the higher powers that be. Before written language was even thought of ppl used to calculate the time first above all. For crop planting purposes as well as worshipping and other purposes I won’t get off topic, but time has always been a constant defining factor in all aspects of life! So rightly so it’s important in my opinion in witchcraft as well. Days have certain dedicated deities as well as planets too. So I mean, it’s perfectly reasonable to expect new witches to be overwhelmed or intimidated by spell writing. My advice is to keep it simple and not overthink things.
Plan intentions, general time frame expectations for your spell including prep time, and decide if you’re able to perform outside to be closer with Mother Nature and the Elements or if it’s to be performed indoors. If it’s indoors make sure you plan for worst case scenario not that will ever happen, but it’s good to be prepared just in case you know. Gather up all tools, candles, herbs, etc ahead of time so your not scrambling around last minute.
When preparing for your spell I recommend you make sure all distractions are out of the way, all electronics set to silent, and pets put out the way so as not to mess up your circle if using one or distract you by getting in your way or perhaps even being a fire hazard, I know but it’s been known to happen so I’m just saying is all. Unless your pet is chill and will not distract you my opinion is no harm no foul ya know…to each their own.
So I’ll wrap this up by saying this….a spell is as simple or as difficult as you make it. Don’t overthink things and don’t second guess yourself ok! I’m the beginning that’s gonna happen and it’s to be expected but imo that’s how we build our confidence. Trial and error. Don’t be afraid to ride the broom, because what might or might not happen. Ride that darn broom and enjoy the ride but most importantly never give up and don’t be afraid to get “hurt” pain is temporary but the experience is a lifetime memory.
Thank you for reading,
Blessed Be!

Things I’ve done that I can totally see Mic doing:
I’m stupid good at lying and telling when other people are lying so I’ve had multiple occasions when people quit playing card games with me because I could Always Tell
Took a quiz over telling apart mice and rats, something I thought I couldn’t do, and got a perfect score
Refused to go to a class and got 100s on all the exams anyway
Accidentally took a class that I didn’t complete the prerequisites for (I took calc 3 when I hadn’t taken calc 2), didn’t realize until about 2/3rds of the way into the semester, still passed
The first time I ever played Risk I went against someone who’d apparently played a lot and was really good at it and ended up beating him so badly everyone else refused to play with me
Ruined the reputation of some guy cause he told me we couldn’t be friends cause he was too popular (not to be friends with him again, he was just a dick)
Was better at programming than my entire class (honestly entire school) but I fucking hated programming and refused to actually practice it or do more than the bare minimum
Had a friend who asked me what I saw when I looked at them and I ended up (correctly) listing their biggest insecurities (THEY FUCKING ASKED)
Was the youngest person to take almost all the math classes at my high school and literally didn’t have one to take in my final year
Successfully convinced someone that I had taken the class we were both in before (like them) when I had, in fact, not (this happened twice and one was when I took calc 3. The class I didn’t complete the  prerequisite to)
Convinced someone of a “fact” I had made up was true (to be fair, I told them I didn’t know for sure. And this has happened so many times)
Won an argument with my right winged bigoted gov teacher about politics
Have gotten to the point where most people can’t look me in the eye cause I make them Afraid (not anymore, I don’t look at ppl anymore)
Terrified the only guy in my grade that was anywhere near my brand (not level, my brand is very distinct) of intelligence by just existing
Convinced someone (who already knew me) I was someone else for a solid 5 minutes before I got bored and corrected them
Convinced an entire group of people that I either hated them or loved them because I refused to treat them as if there was a hierarchy in place
Had a therapist tell me that a) I was extremely emotionally mature (lol) and b) that they didn’t know how to help me because I had already tried all of their strategies
Convinced a guy who thought he was better than everyone that I was better than him (to be fair, I just acted how I normally act and I didn’t even think I was better than him or anything)
Silently stared someone down until they told me what I wanted to know (to be fair, it took a lot of yelling and insults from them) (this was also my mother)
Had someone talk to me about how good they were at something only for me to realize I was better than them with less than a quarter of the effort
Have had a total of one (1) teacher actually get me to properly pay attention in class and that was when I was 13 and in a class everyone else hated cause it was “too much work”
Convinced someone to tell me something because they thought I’d figure it out anyway (I didn’t even ask and I wouldn’t have tried to figure it out because I respect privacy but they were right to think I could’ve)
Had someone tell me that if I lead a cult, they’d join and I’d be great at it
Figured out I could tell a lot more about a person than they could tell about me so in order to combat that I decided to start exaggerating all my expressions and actions and it did Nothing
Memorized a song after hearing it twice, freaking my sister out

dsmp pantheon but for pjo au lets go
there is no like. ~king of the gods~ or wtv thats laaaame they are all just simply vibing
phil is like a wind god. he also is a bird king. listen hes a very powerful bird man he communes with the birds and has minor wind abilities. he has a secondary role as a god of death
-> phil doesnt really interact w mortals outside of like. because hes hanging out w techno lijkr4ed. also since techno's retired to to the camp he probably spends every other week w his wife
technoblade is a war god/the blood god this is a given. he runs the camp bc he's always been a protector of new soldiers and genuinely likes training young people. phil is there bc he follows techno around to carry the souls of those he kills to the afterlife. phil and techno are like. besties your honor, platonic life partners, whatever. him running the camp is retirement methinks
-> technoblade chooses mortal heroes that he blesses with the ability to hear the voices in battle and call upon the blood gods strength
phil's wife is the goddess of death. is she kristin, is the the samsung smart fridge, idk but shes married to phil. he comes to see her and brings her the souls of the dead as like a romantic gift, we know the deal
-> lady death has a soft spot for dead babies but shes not like. their mom? she doesnt really have kids or mortals that are "hers", shes not super interested in them. i think shes actually p cold and reserved, except to phil
drista is a trickster god, comes to earth and causes chaos until she is once again banished to the heavens- dionysus in pjo got grounded to camp half blood, drista gets grounded FROM camp half blood or whatever i end up calling the camp
-> drista picks out a mortal she likes and smacks them over the head in their early-ish childhood (before the age of ten) with her mark, thus labeling them as Hers. they may as well be a demigod at that point tbh shes technically their patron not their mom but the only difference is the dynamic lol
dristas older brother is dreamXD. i dont know anything about canon!dreamXD but im gonna make him a god of reality? bc as i understand it he comes to c!gnf in dreams or smth idk. hes probably the most powerful but idt he cares to be king of the gods- unless someone was claiming to be more powerful than him which theyre not dumb enough to do.
-> if gnf is a god, dxd never has mortal children, only blesses young adults and teens. if gnf isnt a god, dxd sometimes does blessings n sometimes has mortal children. his blessings work like how dristas do
foolish used to be a god of death before phil was, but when phil married the samsung smart fridge, he stepped down to become the god of life instead. he doesnt reign over births in any way, i think the ender dragon does that, but he like. u know. hes the totem of undying guy, ppl come to him when theyre trying to avoid death. or like, if theyre afraid someones gonna die- hes ya man
-> foolish fashions children out of clay ^^
herobrine is a god of destruction. you give up offerings to him to avoid, like, earthquakes n shit
-> herobrine curses ppl and then their kids are all herobrine descendants, inexplicably. i think there is almost definitely some kind of stigma? or smth? major downside. of being a herobrine kid bc of this.
gnf miiiight be a god of dreams or miight be the son of dreamXD i dont watch him so idk how/how much i wanna play into his and dreamXD's canon dynamic. ill have to watch some vods n talk to my datemates little sister and come back to it later
-> gnf does blessings if hes a god. his mortals have prophetic dreams :]
schlatt is a god of divine justice or punishment, he judges the dead and works w mumza to decide who gets what afterlife. i will not elaborate on why find the clip of wilbur reacting to the matpat video lij5rkefd
-> schlatt Has Kids
FUCK official minecraft lore the ender dragon is the benevolent ruler of the end in-game and here shes the god of like, birth/rebirth/life. bc her whole thing is that shes got this egg and shes protecting it.
-> the ender dragon fucks (love her so much)
lady prime is one of my favorites shes a god a wealth and of business endeavors of all kinds- genuine, scams, pyramid whatevers, if the aim is to get cash money in your pocket u should pray to her shell help u out if she likes u. very much a picker of favorites
-> lady prime Has Kids
the egg is here. its like a bad guy or smth doesnt have kids or anything but does possess ppl
@thenerdistrying pspspspsps give me ur takes

Yuetara, zukka, and maiko
yuetara
ship
1) its not one of my main ships. i dont rlly read fanfic for them but if i see a cute fanart of them ill enjoy it and i think i first started shipping it because of good fanarts for them.
2) i like yuetara because of how similar they are. theyre both women from the water tribe. they both understand the misogyny that they have faced. and they both said f sexism im gonna be a strong woman. i also love the tui and la parallel. moon spirit and ocean spirit parallel COME ON. YUE IS THE MOON. KATARA IS THE MOST POWERFUL WATERBENDER. THEY ARE THE OCEAN AND THE MOON. the push and pull they could give eachother. that dynamic ftw.
3) i guess if i didnt like something about this ship would be the fact that if i read a fic or see a fanart w yuetara then than means in that particular au i wont get any yuekka and yuekka is probably my second favorite ship. but then again if i get yuetara than i could get a plethora of other sokka ships to go with it so my sadness disappears in like two seconds. gosh shipping is hard sometimes until you remember ‘hey i have like fifty different universes in my head. all ur ships can coexist in ur brain olivia’ other than that i really see no downsides to this ship. maybe i wish it had more content. maybe if it had more content id ship it a lot more but its not one of the more popular ships so the content is kinda few n far between on my feed.
zukka:
SHIPPP
1) my boys. my babies. my loves. i watched this show for the first time when it came out on netflix and when it ended i really didnt ship anything other than kataang. i came onto tumblr to find fun atla content and one of the very first things i saw under the atla tag was zukka content. i was like oh? whats this? zukka? interesting... i was intrigued so i found a list of fic recs and i fell in love with the ship. the rest is history. its probably my number one ship because it was my very first ship here and im nostalgic
2) oh boy there is so much i like about this ship. i relate to a shit ton of characters in atla. but sokka and zuko may be the ones i relate to most. i relate to sokka because i tend to feel second best a lot to my friends. i try to stay positive but things rarely go the way i plan or hope for them too and while im happy for my friends and their achievements i oftentimes find myself thinking why cant that be me? and i see this a lot in sokka especially in sokkas master. i dont feel special a lot and idk seeing sokka feel the same way and then realizing he is special kinda helped me realize that im special too. on the flipside i relate to zuko because i have wild anger issues and difficulty dealing w my emotions a lot as well. i get broody and short tempered and insecure very often and i tend to push people away and i refuse to ask for help (the amount of teachers and adults and therapists who have told me its okay to ask for help ur not any weaker because of it is astounding. do i listen to them? .....im working on it.) and i saw a shit ton of this in zuko. book one and two zuko rarely asks for help as seen in the blue spirit and zuko alone and he pushes away uncle so many times and even when the gaang iffers to help him in i think its the chase he tells them to leave. when he finally has his redemption and joins the gaang and lets them kinda become a better person i was so happy. i want that for myself yk. seeing him finally win the agni kai and overcome his family that always told him he was nothing was such a win. my sister and i get along but when we were children we were very much like zuko and azula. it was extremely competitive all the time and there was so much toxicity and sibling drama to a concerning extent. we get along great now which im very happy about but yeah their sibling relationship hit a lil too on the nose for me. seeing as i relate to these character so much and want them ti be happy i want to live vicariously through them so seeing them together is amazing for me to project into them. i love projecting onto fictional characters and with them i can project onto BOTH so its a winwin. plus so many zukka fics are so well written and heartwarming and heartbreaking and emotional and fluffy anf UGH the talent here us astounding.
3) what do i not like about the ship? again the list is long. oops. mainly the toxic shippers. there are so many toxic zukka stans that sometimes make it hard for me to enjoy this ship but hey! thats what the block button is for:) i despise how often people infantilize zuko and completely ruin his character for the sake of making him a soft weak lil boy who needs protecting. thats just not zuko for me. and ive seen many many accounts even state that this kind of portrayal of zuko is rooted in racist stereotypes about asian men (now i am white so i personally have never experiences racism but i feel the need to bring that up because it is wrong and attention needs to be brought to it because a lot of poc fans have criticised this) and the same for sokka. some ppl rlly skew his character and make him a big strong brute and hypermasculine and once again poc fans have said that this take is rooted in racist stereotypes. again! these are just my opinions! this is my favorite ship! but i think its important to acknowledge some of the bad parts of our ships as well and be critical where criticism is needed :))
maiko
ship
1) I LOVE MAIKO. “i dont hate you” “i dont hate you too” BRUH. my little heart just burst into flames. im sorry guys but maiko is so cute. they hate everything except eachother. BRUH that is one of the cutest tropes. i shipped them the moment i saw them together onscreen and i was so happy when zukos face lit up in the finale when mai came back.
2) “i hate everything but i have a soft spot for you” TAKE MY MONEY I AM A SUCKER FOR THIS. they are so cute together. like zuko is rarely happy in a majority of atla but mai makes him happy and i- 🥺🥺 HE DESERVES IT. and mai is always so supportive of him. when hes stressing out about the war meeting she tries her best to comfort him. and zuko cares about her too. he may not be the best at showing it but oh my god hes TRYING HIS BEST. i think its a very accurate portrayal of teenage relationships because they arent perfect and they do fight but like,, every teenage relationship does that. and even after everything and how he left her in the fire nation she still had his back at boiling rock. she still risked her life against azula to save his butt.
3) the thing i hate about maiko isnt even about maiko. its about antis who think mai is toxic and that zuko deserves better. that has got to be the worst take ive ever heard. they had a fight in ember island. that is NORMAL. they are teenagers. they are not perfect. but underneath all the rough edges and things they need to work out they still care about eachother so freaking much. i genuinelt believe that neither of them would do anything to intentionally hurt the other and i think thats what matters the most. if anything mai is the best girlfriend in the entire world because zuko fucked up like,, quite a few times. he got rlly jealous and dumped her thru a letter and ppl always say that mai was toxic for being mad at him for those two things. umm she had every right to be mad at him for both of those. and while zuko is allowed to feel his emotions and be angry sometimes as well sometimes he needs to think things thru and realize that hey maybe some if this jealousy is unfounded. BUT EVEN THEN. HE RESPECTED HER FEELINGS AND DIDNT TOUCH HER WHEN SHE SAID DONT TOUCH ME. HE RESPECTED HER. so i hate toxic maiko takes because they are literally so wrong in my opinion.
again all of these are just my opinions!! feel free to agree or disagree but please be respectful!! i will respect whatever u think as well because this is all just for fun :)

just gonna give my overall DLC thoughts since i finished! potential spoilers below
so i liked the dlc a lot, it was a neat thing to throw into the world and i liked the lore, story, etc. i do understand some of the issues ppl had with it but ive come out positive still. i think one key thing to remember on the story end, if me and likely many others are playing this after having already beat the main story... you need to first remember the dlc isnt another ending, its not a separate story. its “end” might feel simple or inconclusive if you play it alone and not like an addition to the Nomai/main story which all tie together very well. this isnt a continuation or whatever, its just another story to another group of people like the nomai that add more to the overall story. and i think it was really good for that- it really adds a lot to the main story i think even if i didnt play it like that for the first time. kinda just pulls more details together and the new race’s experience is a very interesting narrative mostly if you do already know the Nomai.
past that- i think i really dont have a problem w the overall gameplay choice for the dlc. i will admit i was a little nervous what the dlc could be, i was afraid it could shatter the original story’s feelings by shoehorning in something that felt unfitting. the game is very exploration based so i kept thinking “how could they add onto the solar system? it would be strange to do that”. so i wasnt surprised by tackling the Stranger the way they did. it fit well. of course the downside is that youre left exploring one massive vessel and nothing else, and it does get tedious when you have already completed the main story, because there is nothing else to do in the game aside from just that. i can agree that is one flaw, but i also think the dlc worked fine the way it did because i couldnt imagine them trying to expand the existing world without it feeling wrong. the story here is linear, even with the main story left to complete.
but onto the next parts, the horror- which is a part i definitely didnt mind in the same way and im not exactly someone who was smart about any of this dlc tbh. i think OW has always managed to use Fear for gameplay. in the overall/main game, you fear places like Dark Bramble or Giant’s Deep because you dont know them. you need to learn either by exploring for more info or just trying something to see what happens. thats how the dlc is, but less so of fearing exploring and more so of fearing the puzzle you dont know the answers to. i completed the dlc without figuring out some of the “secret” things but i still learned other things that told me the “stealth” part could be avoided, it didnt take too much trial and error to realize how to get around some and use the new mechanics to my advantage. some people find it frustrating that some of the secrets are learned after you do them but i had such situations even with the main game- i think it perfectly makes sense because theyre all things i know others tried on their own. i didnt, but its certainly open to you to try if you question the new mechanics enough which i did very well in the main game. And OW has done that in other ways.
overall i understand some mixed opinions but it felt very OW through and through just with the lack of planets to explore, which i cannot blame them for considering the circumstances of the game’s world tbh. these are my more analytical/game reviewy thoughts tho and i have many feelings abt the story, many thoughts.... but i wanted to get this ramble out of the way

Hi :) for the ask challenge : 1, 4, 7, 11, 15, 21
Obviously you don't have to answer all of them unless you want to :)
1. How long do you hc the travel time between Divinity’s Reach and Lion’s Arch?
I am VERY BAD at time and distances to be honest, something like a couple weeks by foot sounds like a decent distance between two major cities (esp considering how much of kryta is western europe and that doesnt seem completely incompatible with real life western europe) but i have a lot of trouble picturing how much that is, and tbh i'd need to add hundreds of villages and quite a few minor towns in between anyway to get something that feels like RealityTM.
Funny answer is the game is 100% of the reality of tyria. You CAN do the one-hour walk between LA and DR. the whole world is smaller than france. Not what i believe but really funny to think about.
4. How much smarter than everyone else are Asura actually? Is it all just hubris and in the end they just have a better education system?
YES IT'S JUST HUBRIS. The "some species just are Better at x" fantasy trope definitely is rooted in real life racism and i hate it so i really believe that all differences are cultural (because the implications otherwise feel kinda gross). And considering how high and mighty they are about it, them not sharing the education and science cuz "nah you humans/sylvari/charr/norn definitely are too stupid to understand" makes sense, but hopefully with everything that's been happening, asura seeing others make super cool tech and stuff, they'll realize that everyone will profit if they share their knowledge on a deeper level >:3
7. How does an average Sylvari’s average day look like?
im bad at average help. more seriously they don't feel like they have a structured work day like we do (and i assume most other races do too bc that's the vibe they give. gotta work in the fields or make tech or idk what). Maybe the Socialist Utopia where they come give a hand at the Necessary Jobs for a bit (just thinking about how the dream might mean everyone Knows how most of those work?) and then just chill out doing the hobby they feel called to. Overall i think they have a lot of ~empathy~ and respect of other individuals' liberties so theres not much being forced on others and people can just vibe however they want without having to stress about paying rent or shit like that.
11. Are magic abilities learned or are people born with them? A combination of both?
Mostly learned i think! There might be some biological stuff that might help somehow, like how some people learn how to draw way faster than others, and some others struggle A LOT but if the world has magic, i'd let anyone learn to channel it! And I think the way gw1 works might support it, with all the profession trainers who teach us skills..... The captured elites might be some form of "i saw magic used this way, so i am learning from seeing my magic used against me"? I really feel like i'm making shit up on the spot im sorry but also what did u expect from this idiot /lh
15. A headcanon about a minor race, like Quaggan or Dredge.
theyre all perfect. thats it. (more seriously i don't have that many thoughts about any of them i just think we should Learn More). Oh and considering the prev question: yes a necromancer quaggan is a posibility. Baby quaggan walk, followed by corpses, i love ♥
21. Mallyck. Other Trees. Mordremoth’s blighting trees… Are the Sylvari not unique?
hhhh so i was a bit no when i saw the question at first but ive been Thinking so. LETS RECAP THE DATA WE HAVE.
Apparently a dev confirmed malyck did Not Come from a blighting tree during a live or on reddit or whatever i can't check ever gw2wiki source okay, which confirms that whatever the most complicated answer to the question i come up with is most likely true.
The wiki says the seed for the pale tree was a blighting tree seed stolen by Ronan but the source seems to be an artbook i don't have so idk if it's the wiki people extrapolating because i can't check. so first let's assume it's the case: NOTHING is stopping anyone else from having stolen a seed too and planted a tree and theyre all kind of cousins (sylvari/mordrem/other tree ppl) which is very cute and that feels like the most canon-compliant explanation of malyck bUT it's not fucked up enough to my taste so i'm gonna say (for the sake of argument at least idk which option is alex-canon yet) the pale tree came from just something else. Ronan and Ventari planted a lil gay tree and some sleeping mordremoth magic made it Alive (because we need plant dragon connection anyway (we couuld fuck that up but that sounds like too much work for now)) but there were too many good gay vibes so the tree ended up making overall nice and very gay plants. WHICH MEANS. there's nothing preventing sleeping mordremoth power to just vibe with trees that are supposed to be significant in other ways and awaken them to make lil plant beings.
Downside to all this is why haven't we seen them in HoT, BUT maybe they were too far away. Maybe a chaotic neutral quaggan planted a cactus in elona and mordremoth made choya because of that. Idk man.

THE POSITIVE & NEGATIVE; mun & muse - meme.
TAGGED BY: @hyaciiintho thank you so much!!! <3
TAGGING: @rcguna @cadcnce either or whatever works for you bear, @panickypeachboy @paintmaid @emfiliae @windmcge and you as well!! The person reading this
FILL OUT & REPOST ♥ this meme definitely favors canons more, but i hope oc’s still can make it somehow work with their own lore, and lil’ fandom of friends & mutuals. multi-muses pick the muse you are the most invested in atm. <--- leaving this here because this is super sweet ALSO FAIR WARNING my blog has right click turned off. I’m going to be placing this under readmore but I think you can see it on dashboard view! If not lmk we’ll work something out!!!
MY MUSE IS: CANON / OC / AU (Verse dependent) / CANON-DIVERGENT (Interactions & verse dependent) / FANDOMLESS
Is your character popular in the fandom? YES well kinda at least thanks to ssbu before she wasn’t that well known I MEAN PPL KNEW HER BUT SHE DIDN’T HAVE AS MANY FANART AS OTHER ZELDAS SDJBKHJABSD/ NO
Is your character considered hot™ in the fandom? YES / NO / IDK because not too many people talk about her and by her I mean ALTTP Zel, people are bonkers over SSBU Zel!
Is your character considered strong in the fandom? YES / NO if we’re talking about the canon of ALTTP and OoX series rather than ssbu it’s a hard no, she has enough magic to be considered a sacrifice to break barriers and revive the dead but not enough to fend herself off from evil mages who want to talk over the world / IDK
Are they underrated? YES / NO
Were they relevant for the main story? YES / NO / MAYBE
Were they relevant for the main character? YES / NO / THEY’RE THE PROTAG
Are they widely known in their world? YES / NO / MAYBE
How’s their reputation? GOOD / BAD / NEUTRAL
HOW STRICTLY DO YOU FOLLOW CANON?
NOT THAT STRICT HONESTLY, she’s just an OC at this point haha because she has zero substance in her own god damn game ;v; she’s just exposition.txt with dulcina effect playing into view though it is somewhat justified since she is the princess and the only thing that stopped Agahnim from breaking out Ganon.... I MEAN!!! SHE’S NOT AT ALL A DEPRESSED CALM ROMANTIC IN CANON LET’S PUT IT TO YOU THAT WAY SDBKASDJHBDASD.
SELL YOUR MUSE! AKA TRY TO LIST EVERYTHING, WHICH MAKES YOUR MUSE INTERESTING IN YOUR OPINION TO MAKE THEM SPICY FOR YOUR MUTUALS.
TAKES A DEEP BREATH
Tiny funky elf princess trying her best to rule elf kingdom. HJKA there’s more, I’m lazy but not that lazy. She’s the descendent of essentially a mortal god, more than likely acting as an avatar of sorts to the goddess Hylia, as such she’s gifted with fantastical abilities that’s been passed down her family for generations and she intends to use these powers to protect her kingdom that’s still on the road of recovery, as the sole survivor from Agahnim’s destruction upon Hyrule and thus sole scion she’s left picking up the small fragments from the tragedy that occurred ages ago where the Hero of Time had fallen. But here’s the downside to these powers: she was born with a very weak body and poor health as such she can’t utilize the abilities she has from her bloodline aside from a few powers without affecting her low stamina issues. Namely telepathy, clairvoyance, healing, sealing things away, creating barriers, and connection with the spirit realm. As such, she tends to rely on the wisdom given to her by her naturally bright mind and enhanced by the mythical object known as the Triforce of Wisdom. Surprisingly, she can be cunning despite her soft-hearted nature and is willing to do whatever it takes to protect her kingdom and people she loves, her silent determination more than makes up for the lack of powers she may have. That in mind, she’s often the target of more nefarious plans that means the downfall of her kingdom. She may not have the amazing light magic spells her ancestors did to prevent darkness from taking over but that doesn’t mean her magic isn’t any less potent, she just can’t tap into it. She’s an easy target for enemies that wish to use her sacred powers to revive the dead Ganon or break pass whatever powerful barrier or seal that’s in place.
Her future is pretty grim as well, considering she has a shorter life span. But it’s fine, things are fine she may have a gloomy outlook on certain things but that doesn’t stop her from living life!! Despite how sour this may all seem Zelda is still that encouraging young woman whose kindness defines her, she’s playfully innocent around friends and enjoys exploring old places of decay that’s rich with history! She tends to bottle up her more negative aspects to not worry others since she’s the pillar of an entire ass nation, she needs to maintain her placid demeanor as a means to calm and soothe others around her. Because the truth of the matter is that the events of ALTTP (before the game where harsh plagues among other things happened before Agahnim arrived to fix everything as well as after the events of the game) and OoX, instances where she’s witnessed death of loved ones, the downfall of her kingdom, and coming across death herself has affected her greatly. She suffers from grief and depression that needs to be addressed but... ;v;
NGL I’M ABOUT TO CRY
NOW THE OPPOSITE, LIST EVERYTHING WHY YOUR MUSE COULD NOT BE SO INTERESTING (EVEN IF YOU MAY NOT AGREE, WHAT DOES THE FANDOM PERHAPS THINK?).
HJKA TAKE OUT MY BULLSHIT TAKE ON HER AND YOU’RE LEFT WITH EXPOSITION AND DAMSEL IN DISTRESS!!! She’s not at all interesting if you don’t take into account her roles in the mangas which I somewhat base her personality and thoughts on... she’s just.... nice pretty princess that needs to be rescued. A tale as old as time....
WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO RP YOUR MUSE?
GOOD QUESTION!!! BECAUSE I STARTED OUT WITH HILDA BEFORE DECIDING TO GO WITH SKY ZELDA BECAUSE I WANTED TO DO A MORE OUTGOING MUSE and then I opened up a sideblog for this Zelda out of whim. There’s no reason why I choose the most obscure Zelda, I just did it because I thought it’d be fun. I did not expect this much characterization for someone like her ngl. I guess what keeps me going is the fact that she’s a fun character to write for!
WHAT KEEPS YOUR INSPIRATION GOING?
HA!!! NOTHING!!! Mental illness is a bitch, I will have my down... weeks. Not days, literal weeks or months depending on how long my episodes last. It sucks, and I try to work around it but there’s not much I can do. That said, inspiration depends on motivation and want to write. As well as focus because god knows I have so little of that.
SOME MORE PERSONAL QUESTIONS FOR THE MUN.
give your mutuals some insight about the way you are in some matters, which could lead them to get more comfortable with you or perhaps not.
Do you think you give your character justice? YES / NO I TRY BUT UNDERSTAND THERE’S NOT MUCH TO WORK WITH IN CANON YOU EITHER LIKE HER OR DON’T
Do you frequently write headcanons? YES / NO
Do you sometimes write drabbles? YES / NO but I honestly should???
Do you think a lot about your Muse during the day? YES / NO
Are you confident in your portrayal? YES where’s the kinda opition, because I personally love her and think she’s interesting enough but I’m still working a lot on her NO
Are you confident in your writing? YES / HA HARD NO
Are you a sensitive person? YES fun part of having ADD is that you feel emotions more intenstly, I’m naturally a senstive person too so :’)))) / NO
DO YOU ACCEPT CRITICISM WELL ABOUT YOUR PORTRAYAL?
YES OF COURSE!!!! As someone who wants to grow more in writing any sort of feedback is appreciated!
DO YOU LIKE QUESTIONS, WHICH HELP YOU EXPLORE YOUR CHARACTER?
If you give me the chance to ramble about this stupid elf I will literally love you so much like I love all sorts of questions anyone may have about her!! Though I feel my rambles don’t really make much sense since I just type whatever pops in the mind and put it down as fast as I can without double-checking well enough.
IF SOMEONE DISAGREES TO A HEADCANON OF YOURS, DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY?
Sí! Again, I want to grow more as a writer and rper! So if someone were to come across a headcanon they don’t like I’d like to know why so that I can think more critically about it and fix it so that it better fits Zelda. If someone were to say “I don’t like this” without saying why it really won’t help much aside from letting me know that you don’t like the thing, which is fine and valid but pls let me know why!
IF SOMEONE DISAGREES WITH YOUR PORTRAYAL, HOW WOULD YOU TAKE IT?
Eh, fine with it. I honestly don’t mind if someone doesn’t like my characters, any of my characters I play as! Sometimes, certain portrayals aren’t someone’s cup of tea and that’s perfectly fine. I won’t take offense to it, at the end of the day while I’m still working on Zelda I’m happy with how much she’s grown over the years I’ve played her as... which were just two but it feels longer dude!!!
IF SOMEONE REALLY HATES YOUR CHARACTER, HOW DO YOU TAKE IT?
Again, I wouldn’t care that much lol. It’s just rping, it’s really not that deep. It’s no different from someone not liking a book because they just don’t vibe with the writing style among other reasons. I may be sensitive but I don’t really take a lot of things personally.
ARE YOU OKAY WITH PEOPLE POINTING OUT YOUR GRAMMATICAL ERRORS?
Ye uvub! I’m a literal dumbass behind a keyboard, don’t be afraid to say “hey this wasn’t spelled right” or “hey this doesn’t make much sense mind checking it over really quick”.
DO YOU THINK YOU ARE EASY GOING AS A MUN?
I THINK?! I MEAN HONESTLY I’M SUPER ANXIOUS AND A WORRYWART I JUST DON’T SHOW IT MUCH AAAAAAAA I’d like to think of myself as chill ;v; I try to treat others how I want to be treated and just try to be nice. Idk if I come across as that or not, it’s hard to convey feelings through text sometimes to some.

being an ace feels like finding yourself in the center of the hugest prank... i mean, okay, there are things some ppl like and others don't but seriously, everybody says that sex is the best thing ever, not just good, and compare it to religion (check any popular song) while for me, masturbating feels... as exciting as picking my noze? how, just - how? or sometimes i feel like a crazy puppeteer, my legs start shaking and there are weird impulses going through them but it's just... Boring. Weird. Dull. Why would anyone say these things about it...
Hi there, nonnie. It's really two sides of the same coin, isn't it? Like allosexual people struggle to understand how there are people who don't experience sexual attraction or don't enjoy sex, just as there are asexual people and others who struggle to understand how anyone could experience or want such things.
The downside of all of that though, is that those who purport sex as the greatest thing ever have been the loudest over the years and been heard by so many people, any have probably fed into your feelings that you're the subject of the world's biggest prank.
It does come to a point where I think it's less important to try and understand why people make the claims they do, and just accept there are people who feel that way, but there are also people who don't, and we're just as valid and should be allowed to exist and have our own spaces where we can be comfortable and happy.

Reputation Tour - Minneapolis Night 2 - The Show
I am so extra when it comes to these types of posts so I am going to start with the concert itself (nothing before or after)
Well ok, we can start with the pre-show setlist because it was lit.
I knew that she played Tequila and Bad Reputation but I didn’t know the rest
*** disclaimer: I’ve low key been following the concerts, but I’ve mostly been following the B-stage song (and fans reactions and experiences ofc). I’ve looked at the full setlist before but I only knew the first and last song. I had a phase where I would follow along to a lot of an artist on tour and see how each show went but I actually prefer this because it’s more of a surprise, I’ll likely follow more now that I’ve had my show.
Babe, Selena, Roman Holiday, Curious. I loved when My My My came on and in my head, I was like I’d love to hear strawberries and cigarettes, and what does she do? Play it right after.
This past spring, during my last semester I had both songs on a short playlist that I would play on repeat when I was studying for tests, it got me through. The only thing about listening to them in the stadium is I realized as a college student I listened to a lot of music but I don’t necessarily know all the lyrics to songs I listened to at the time bc I was multitasking. Rip.
I loved that she played Obsessed, I thought that was hilarious, I was into that song during junior high.
Anyways now on to the concert.
I don’t even know how much I’ll have to say because I was just DANCING AND SCREAMING LYRICS most of the time, like there were certain points where I had to bring myself back to reality because I was so lost in the music that I forgot to focus on Taylor - Like that tells you that it was a D*** good show.
ok lets go song by song.
…Ready for it?
I wasn’t sure where she was going to come out but WOW WHAT AN ENTRANCE. I loved the fog and ahhhhh
I Did Something Bad
THIS SONG IS POWERFUL
I felt bad bc one of my friends really wanted to come to the show but it didn’t work out and this was the song she wanted to see the most.
Like this song DESERVES to be heard live. Like honestly this entire album the live versions bring it up another level.
THE FIRE THE FIREWORK
I can’t
you could literally FEEL the heat from the flames. I wow.
During the bridge when all of the dancers were lying on the floor as burning witches - it reminded me of the thing Taylor does best, the theatrics. SHE PUTS ON A SHOW. Like idc what people say about Taylor's music, you don’t have to like it, but you can’t say that she can’t put on a show.
This song is such a BA and makes me feel powerful. It doesn’t take any sh**
Gorgeous
We love transitions. SOme of them are cheesy but I am such a sucker for them. I love that the screens show pictures of the Olivia and Meredith.
Ok so this song took a while for me to get into when it first came out. Now i love it ofc. but like this son also deserves to be heard in concert because it’s fun to be over the top with it.
Style / Love Story / You Belong With Me
Have I mentioned that I love this woman with my entire heart? One thing that I love about concerts, is how the artist changes the arrangement, and this mashup exhibits that well.
Like as a fan who has been here for 10 years I appreciate her singing old songs so much. Also Style is wow one of my fav songs off of 1989.
Ugh IM GETTING SO EMO WRITING THIS SHE MEANS SO MUCH TO ME HER MUSIC MEANS SO MUCH TO ME AND EVERYTHING JUST BRINGS BACK SUCH AMAZING MEMORIES.
She acknowledges the band during this mashup, and bjwailvuke,hrgoiuelakrj,nfwleiaksjbvn IM SO EMO ACTUALLY GOING TO CCRY that was one of my favorite parts of the show when Taylor was leaning against Paul and Amos while they were playing. They’ve been there with her through it all. They’ve stuck around. They could get any job in the world and they stay (my eyes are watering up so much I can’t see). I clapped so hard for them. I appreciate them so much and they deserve all the love in the world. I can’t imagine how emo they get over long live because I get emo over long live referring to them more than anyone else wow.
AND WOW you belong with me. That gave me Speak Now flashbacks in how the screens looked (she played that song going back to the stage from the b-stage during that tour).
Look What You Made Me Do
I feel like seeing rep in concert just made me appreciate the album 10000 more than before it is so POWERFUL & SEXY. The sound of this song live mixed with the power of the music video wow. This woman OWNS THE WORLD
I didn’t realize that they actually did the phone call during the show but I LOVED being able to scream she’s dead.
Lol I was so focused on the screen or in my head at some point that I DIDN”T NOTICE THE SNAKE COMING OUT OF THE STAGE. My friend was FREAKING OUT as was half of the audience. I knew about the snake pre show but it was still like wow hi hello.
End Game
I guess if there is anything that I was ??????? mildly disappointed with was that this song was so short, I mean like I didn’t know what to expect either because I didn’t expect her to do the rap or ed’s part. This is just one of my favorite songs so I would’ve loved to hear the song for longer.
King of My Heart
I guess out of the entire show this one stood out the least, but like that means very little because I was still screaming the lyrics and dancing the entire time.
I love the harmonies in this song and it was*sounds of heaven above* to hear it live
A good transition to the slower songs.
Delicate
For her speech - I was surprised by how many people hadn’t seen her before but I was just smiling because I was so happy for them.
Also, I don’t remember if this was during this same part or when it was but when she was asking who was from MN and who was from elsewhere - can I just say that I met someone who was from KOREA attending the show. And she had seen it the night before and if that doesn’t tell you the power of music there’s nothing else.
Ok actual disappointment of the concert. NO ONE BY ME SCREAM 1, 2, 3, LETS GO BITCH I was so sad. And I forgot to tell the friend I was going with about it. The other friend I was hoping to go to the other night did know tho and wanted to do that. But I was like I’m not going to scream profanities is no one by me is so I kinda mumbled off at the end of the phrase. (more like it made me self conscious that I was saying it at the wrong time, but I wasn’t) It sounded like other sections were louder like it was loud enough to be recognized in the venue. But idk if ppl who aren’t part of stan twitter would understand what was being said unless they were by a fan who said it.
Lol I’ve probably watched more videos of people saying this that of the rep songs pre my show.
Ok I didn’t realize that this was the song that she goes over to the b-stage with and awwww. I knew it was pretty but it was gorgeous. My friend (who is more of a casual fan but was still hype and singing during the show to everything besides the expected (long live, TTWAS, and should’ve said no) was so appreciative of that part, she was like it felt like she was looking at me. I was just so happy during that moment she makes me so happy. I was one of the few people not waving because I was just taking it all in, the beauty of it all.
Shake it off
lol the one song I completely forgot was on the setlist I was so surprised. I didn’t realize that the openers were on the stage until they had been on the stage for like 45 seconds. Before my show, I didn’t see many people post videos of this song. And the visuals were so fun and colorful and the confetti.
Also like after the song confetti was flying through the air during the acoustic show and PRETTTY.
After this song was over my heart was beating so fast because I couldn’t wait to hear what the secret song was.
So it goes…
Ok so this is the part of the show were I got very confused.
So, the one downside of looking at the setlist was that I KNEW that this song wasn’t on the setlist. So I thought this song was the secret song, so ngl I got low key sad even though ITS MY FAV song off the album (not including singles) (ranking to be posted sooon, idk my order yet, still).
I was still happy to hear it, but I wasn’t able to appreciate as much as I would’ve. I did later tho.
THE SECRET SONG
The morning of the show, or the night before, someone who had met her night 1 had posted that she had talked to taylor and knew the two options taylor was thinking of for tonight. And I was like ugh I wish she could givea vague hint, that no one would be able to guess, but would make so much sense after the fact. I didn’t want to be spoiled but iwkjbsvk still the part that I was most excited about. (fun fact it didn’t end up being either song that the girl had discussed with taylor)
Taylor talked about people saying she’s been listening to people from all platforms asking her to play old songs. At one point she even said 13 years, and in my head I was like is she actually going to play I’d Lie (DO IT). But once she started describing the song I knew it right away. Lol I recorded the speech beforehand and you can just hear me muttering tied together with a smile over and over again.
I was correct
Tied Together With A Smile
This song has always been beautiful. From 2007 I have always liked it because sonically it’s soothing (I know I’ve been through other stuff with this song but not enough to be remembered). But honestly, doing my album rank the other week made me REALLY REALLY appreciate this song, in a way that 6th grade me wouldn’t have been able to comprehend. I know I’ve cried to this song before, but not in memory of the way I realized it.
This song is me during the end of high school. I always did well in school but suddenly I was struggling and I fell apart. I put so much pressure on myself and I felt like such a failure. It would lead to bad anxiety, breaking down, and later being depressed. And then during my first year of college, I was in a depressed mood state still and I just felt so numb I couldn’t feel anything.
I SCREAMED THIS SONG. I probably shouldn’t have during the verses. BUT IT DESERVES THAT. This song is one of those songs that you sob to, and honestly, at one point I looked like a wreck during this song because I almost cried.
I am so happy she sang this song. Like she reminded us to be kind to ourselves. ANd can I cry again? I love her so much. Like honestly this is something we all need to remind ourselves at times.
ugh what beauty.
----
When the show was over I thought we had heard every song from rep, but after research, I realized that she switched dancing with my hands tied with so it goes… Like wow am I happy that I got lucky enough to get to hear one of my fav songs and I got a DEBUT ALBUM song what even. Like rip for 1989 the secret song was mean. for red both songs were really good, but the night that I wasn’t there was just a little bit better. I still love begin again it is gorgeous. But like tied together is a song that SO many fans haven’t heard live before
(I’m listening to each song while writing this post and Carrie Underwood came on shuffle after this song and I got so distracted, I never realized that I know almost all of her music except her most recent album and few singles)
(now I remembered that I need to listen to troye new album, but back on track. Troye’s album can wait, memories on the other hand only last so long)
Blank Space
This happened a few times during the show where I just started singing the lyrics but I didn’t know what I was singing. That’s what happens when you know the entire discovery of someone who has more than 2 albums out.
This was another song that I completely forgot that she was performing. It was fun. The arrangement felt different which I appreciated because it freshens up the song, and for people who went to 1989 it’s not an exact repeat.
Dress
I
this song has the best visuals and dancing with it.
Everyone was looking at the back screen to get to unedited close up of her but I was staring at the main stage.
It was enchanting and that’s all I have to say. Beautiful. A Masterpiece.
Bad Blood/Should've Said No
Lol the snake bring her back to the stage went so fast. Low key felt bad for the people on the other side because I feel like they didn’t get as much time as she went past.
Based on how hard I went during the concert this was my favorite song. I WENT SO HARD during should’ve said no.
Boy go home.
This song was such a tease tho bc the music of shoul’ve said no kept playing in the background while she was still singing bad blood. I liked the visuals of this version of bad blood better than the 1989 tour. But I will say that it is one of the songs that stood out during the 1989 tour. During 1989 tour I got that out of this world chance to sit front row middle catwalk during that tour and the next night I won ticket in the lower level. And during the second night the visuals stood out (same goes to ootw).
Wow I want to hear should’ve said no live again.
I heard it during speak now, but wow it went so HARD>
Also I kept thinking of the CMT performance.
Don’t Blame Me
This song was all about the hand gestures. I love the gospel choir feel of this song.
Long Live/New Years Day
Lol this is probs the only part of the show I was relatively chill. Because I was just so happy so many memories, so proud of taylor, so happy for her crew band and dancer, and everything was right. Still screamed some of the lyrics of long live when I probs should’ve been quieter (or at least been trying to sing like a normal person)
Why She Disappeared
Ok I was excited for this. This is one of the things I purposefully didn’t watch bc I wanted to save it for the concert. But I must’ve blacked out or something because I remember trying to film it. Then my space filled up. But I barely processed half of it. So I am going to have to go back to that. But I do like the transition - and the story she tells.
Getaway Car
after so it goes… this is my next fav song off the album. The visuals were very entrancing during this song as well.
She was so cute during this song. She did a little slide. And wow now that I’m watching a video from last night I didn’t realize that this is the only song shes alone on the main stage??
Also, I love this outfit.
wow I love her so much
(now I’m just thinkng of how powerful it is for her to be on stage ALONE in a room over 66 thousand people.)
Call It What You Want
This is the point where I don’t have much to say
this song is also a fav and the confetti she’s so pretty the song’s pretty, she’s in love and I’m so happy for her. The fountain was out and suddenly it was bittersweet. I didn’t want the night to end.
She laughed during the song. ugh I love those small moments when she smiles or reacts to something.
We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together / This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things
GOES AS HARD AS POSSIBLE
This moment is so beautiful. While it’s talking about people that we don’t want to be friends with and we need to let go (doesn’t mean we don’t get upset about it) but we were in a room fill of people all there to have a good time and all there for the same reason
To have the times of their life and to share their love for Taylor and her music
---
One thing that really stood out about this concert was how nice everyone was, the warmth felt through out the stadium there was so much love. And wow.
It was such a great night.
I’ve been to speak now, red, 2 nights of 1989, and now one of reputation and this was by far her best tour ever.
Thank you for coming to Minneapolis. I hope you had an amazing night I sure did.

Me: like im not looking for attention
Friend: cover up?
Me: im just doing my own thing when i roll up my sleeves at work and shit
Friend: do your cuts etc show?
Me: yeh
Friend: yeh thats stupid
Friend: obviously
Friend: use your leg or something
Friend: fuck knows why im helpng you do this
Me: hahhhahahhaha
Me: i actually cracked up
Me: lmfao
Friend: but until you realise better
Friend: me saying
Friend: dont do it
Friend: wont achieve shit
Me: agreed
Friend: but you need to know you're retarded for doing it
Me: heard that a bit much lately
Me: just makes me feel spite
Me: yeh i know it's retarded
Friend: you're smart enough to suffer until you have a better answer
Me: aye
Me: i get it
Friend: you might hate me a little for saying it
Me: just dont have a better answer atm
Friend: but personally i think you shouldn't be shit sad
Friend: this*
Me: elaborate
Friend: i know its all relative obviously
Friend: but tons of people would kill to have the kind of breakup you had
Friend: yeh things will be a little tough but you still have someone close (at least thats what we know for now)
Friend: you need to thing of all the good things
Friend: and think like
Friend: ok magic lamb
Friend: genie magic
Friend: go
Friend: change your situation
Me: i am
Me: i've started working on myself and shit
Friend: lamp*
Me: am meeting ppl pretty much every day and shit
Me: going out more, doing new things
Me: but when i get home the rest of it takes over
Friend: but would you be doing that if you knew you had no chance with her?
Me: id probably
Me: take a few days to just fucking sulk to be honest
Friend: i mean i understand how decisions are influenced to match your S/o
Me: and then try and work on it
Friend: but a "change" like that needs to be genuine or its all superficial
Friend: and fragile
Me: no yeah like
Me: ive been thinking like
Me: last couple days like
Me: as much as i hate that this is happening
Me: maybe it's a good thing in the big picture
Me: because i'd become so fucking like
Me: isolated
Me: i was only really meeting her
Me: and chilling with her
Me: never really met or did anything with friends
Me: so in a way it was a wake up call
Me: made me realize that i had to water the crops so i could keep on reaping them
Me: still have my eyes on the prized flower ofc
Me: but it kinda made me realize that she isnt the only thing thats important to me
Me: shes obviously really fucking important to me but it really kind of woke me up
Me: like a splash of water to the face
Me: like
Me: "shit i fucking. i gotta get off my ass and meet friends and shit"
Friend: yeh its true
Me: made me understand how important all that shit is to me kind of
Friend: as you get older, you need to always make an active effort
Friend: to stay on top of friends
Me: yeh
Me: cause i was very reliant on her in a way
Me: and as much as i want that to be a thing still
Me: it made me understand that i can also rely on other people
Me: i can also look to other people
Me: meet other people etc etc
Me: i've come to understand that a lot of the things thatMe: meet other people etc etc
Me: i've come to understand that a lot of the things that
Me: i originally didnt like to do with her
Me: or like
Me: "didnt like"
Me: it made me realize i was just being a shitter in my own world
Me: i actually enjoy a lot of those things
Friend: thats also a tricky thing tho
Friend: like feeling that a bad aspect about you needs fixing
Me: just didnt understand it cause i was so stuck in my loop
Me: yeh sure maybe im just saying/doing that to make myself feel better unconsciously but at least its something right
Me: a different perspective
Me: like
Me: i find myself
Me: actually wanting to go on walks
Me: i find myself actually wanting to do all this shit i thought i hated doing
Me: i feel more awake in a sense
Me: so while i still really want her back i think ive kind of found the light at the end of the tunnel in a way
Me: a different light than i was originally searching for, maybe
Me: but a light nonetheless
Friend: i get you
Friend: a little advice is try not to mention any "changes" you have
Friend: personally its just better if a person realises your changes from seeing it first hand
Friend: dont be that guy who promotes himself
Me: yeh cause it'll maybe make her think im trying to change for her or something
Friend: yeh
Me: instead of actually changing
Friend: dont advertise it ever
Friend: just know what you're showing and how you're acting is a result of work and mentality
Friend: if it shows it shows
Friend: if it doesnt then who cares
Friend: you do you for you
Friend: it would just be good obv if the flower gets it without any assist
Me: yeah
Me: for sure
Me: i think
Me: if we end up hanging out again and shit
Me: i'm pretty sure i'm still just gonna
Me: want to ask her to go out for a walk and do shit and all that
Me: because i feel that desire now
Me: even if i'm making cuts on my arms and drinking like a maniac
Me: like i still feel like im making progress
Me: even if my current ways of coping with the pain are fucking retarded
Me: and im very aware of that
Me: i kinda feel like i can maybe learn from being a fucking moron for a little bit though
Me: understand a bit better how that is, how the perspective switches you know
Friend: yeh
Me: notes to be had
Me: dont advertise change
Me: it gives the wrong impression
Me: might make her think its superficial
Me: uhhhHHh
Me: stop being retarded at some point obviously
Friend: tbh a big thing of being in your head too much
Friend: is if you're not actually busy
Friend: so try and do mre
Friend: in the day
Friend: tire yourself out
Friend: budget your time bette
Friend: r
Friend: dont yolo days
Me: i feel like being a moron and behaving irresponsibly for a bit is ok because this is the most painful shit ive gone through ever pretty much
Friend: cus then you just think about shit you dont need to
Friend: cus you've nothing better to do
Me: yeh
Me: plan shit
Me: do things
Me: make plans in advance etc etc
Friend: that might help
Me: i feel like
Me: idk if im wrong abt this
Me: but
Me: i think it's okay to be a moron for a bit
Friend: personally
Friend: i mean it makes sense
Me: obviously you're the fuckin logic sensei and all that
Friend: but think of dota shitters who are like
Friend: im 2k so i dont need to get dust
Friend: cus at that point its ignorance after the fact
Me: and, again: i'm actively referring to myself as a fuckin moron so i understand that this shit is just retarded
Friend: like choosing the ignorance
Friend: thats cool
Me: but atm it feels like it's aight
Friend: but like how i avoid saying sorry
Friend: if you keep calling yourself a moron
Friend: that word wont mean shit
Me: it'll lose meaning yeh
Friend: cus your brain will just go
Me: i'll just say sth else lol
Friend: ive called myself that for weeks
Friend: /months
Me: yeh
Me: i get you
Me: stops meaning anything
Me: idk. maybe im just not ready to like
Me: take the leap
Friend: yeh see thats legit to accept
Friend: things like that take some time
Friend: some wisdom
Me: yeah
Friend: so you make the call when you think you're ready
Friend: some people never are ready
Friend: and need the push
Friend: but give yourself a chance
Friend: to figure it out yourself
Me: i think i will know soon enough
Friend: before you get pushed
Me: yeah
Me: i definitely needed the push
Me: the breakup was a big push tbh
Me: really shoved me in the deep of it
Me: like i said
Me: made me understand what i value and all that
Friend: yeh thats something that sucks
Friend: but its kinda nice to
Friend: too*
Me: yeh
Me: bittersweet
Friend: you def feel growth once you realise what you had
Friend: after you loseit
Friend: yeh
Friend: you'll see things a little differently now
Me: yeah
Me: if things take off again with her
Me: i'll understand better what i want and what she wants
Me: the growth is a nice feeling despite all the shittiness
Me: it's some what relieving i guess
Me: to understand myself a little better
Me: man my coworkers were constantly telling me to cover up the cuts today
Me: felt kinda bad tbh
Friend: it should
Me: cause im not ashamed of them really
Friend: you showing other people makes it their problem
Friend: because you would rightfully say
Friend: hey if you're a good person
Friend: and you see someone in troble
Friend: you'd help
Friend: so you openly showing something wrong
Friend: doesnt make it just a hraug problem
Me: i guess that's true
Friend: so its fine not to be ashamed
Friend: but do it for the others around you
Me: yeah
Me: that's fair
Me: i feel like its kind of important that
Me: like
Me: im not trying to show anything
Me: does that make sense like
Me: im not pulling up my sleeves as a cry for help im just trying to not get them dirty while i work
Me: but i obviously understnad that people seeing that shit is gonna have some effect on them one way or another
Me: im just kinda like
Me: obviously its not as simple as saying "it's none of your business" but that's kind of how i feel anyways
Me: cuz its not something that im trying to show
Me: its not something i think people should worry about
Me: because i dont worry about it
Me: but maybe im just being ignorant
Me: or sth
Me: idk
Friend: yeh you are
Friend: just get some bandages and perma keep em on
Friend: but again its just normal sadness that you're feeling its no different to a normal breakup, you should try for a week to not to cut or stuff
Friend: cus its not a smart way to deal with sadness in general
Friend: especially when its nowhere near as bad as just out right being rejected due to failure or anything else
Me: thats true i guess
Me: idk though. i feel like that argument just goes back to like
Me: children in africa and all that shit
Friend: yeh dw about that just think he this is how i feel in this situation
Friend: so just try and understand why you're feeling the way you're feeling
Friend: that'll help you tackle how you feel
Friend: and in the future it will make sense
Friend: you;ll see the same signs
Friend: etc etc
Me: yeah
Me: i suppose
Me: that is true.
Me: dude im so drunk lmfao i was actually considering asking you if you wanted to see my cuts
Me: lmfoashdjgk
Me: complete retard over here
Me: god damn
Me: ugh
Me: i think i need to sleep maybe
Friend: lol well i understand why you'd say it
Friend: it wont phase me
Friend: but i wont condone it
Me: nah
Me: i get that
Friend: yeh that's smart
Me: im the same w that w other people
Me: condoning is not good
Me: but theres a difference between condoning and like
Me: accepting
Me: i guess?
Friend: yeh
Friend: but cutting is a last resort in my head
Friend: so im surprised you jumped str8 there
Friend: but again we're all diferent
Friend: ff*
Me: i
Me: tried it at first
Me: because i was kinda curious
Me: wondered it if it'd do anything for me
Me: cause i know some people that have done it and said it helped them cope
Friend: yeh it def helps nodoubt
Me: and i was curious cause i havent really found anything to cope
Friend: but again
Friend: in my head its a last resort
Me: havent had any desire to play any games in the last week
Me: which is my usual coping method
Me: yeh
Friend: i see
Me: but we're all different
Me: like you said
Me: i gotta stop drinking
Me: rofl
Friend: hah
Friend: ive heard that a trillion times
Friend: its shameful
Me: feels bad
Me: feels kinda good
Me: but it feels bad
Friend: lol
Friend: welcome to the drunk life
Me: hahahha
Me: yeh
Me: im learning to drink through this actually
Me: learning how to pace myself
Friend: absinth was a tricky one for me
Friend: hate the taste
Me: never had it afaik
Me: did my first tequila shot tonight
Friend: you'll know when you taste it
Friend: you cant taste anythign
Me: shit was nasty
Friend: but that
Friend: you could lick a hobos ass
Friend: and not taste anything
Friend: but absinth
Me: shit
Me: is it as agressive as gin?
Me: gin is fucking nasty
Me: like eating the bark of an orange
Friend: its like
Friend: gin
Friend: super saiyan steroids
Friend: +10
Me: ugh
Me: nvm then
Friend: you gta try it
Friend: if you do it
Friend: have like a single shot
Friend: as a first drink
Me: how strong is it?
Friend: so you can taste it and shit
Me: yeh
Friend: its the strongest there is i think
Friend: like 60%

also a random question but - favourite ship, if you have one?
ANJA
VMON ; the fashionistas, the earth signs, the teacher and his student, the refreshingly buzz of wild thoughts swirling through the organized mind whAT IS NOT TO LOVE ABOUT VMON!!! i can’t even say what is the most adorable abt those two but i think i’m drawn to how surprisingly similar they are but also how utterly different? whilst they’re both care-taker namjoon is the mental support, he’s incredibly good with words and verbal reassurance whereas taehyung can make anybody feel at ease with just a smile or a hand on the shoulder. whilst the older is gifted with just the right words in any situation the younger has that feeling to him that puts others at ease immediately; like a puppy you pet and feel better though it’s a small creature that needs you to take care of them and guide them you feel oddly accepted, protected, loved and taken care of by a huge grin, lots of spit and scratch marks on your hands and the feeling of their fur underneath your trembling fingers and that is taehyung. namjoon on the other hand is the words of an elder, a friend, a mother that do more than every physical support could do for you at that very moment. namjoon is the voice reading you a bedtime story that lulls you to sleep from very far away while taehyung is the bass soothingly vibrating beneath your head whilst being pressed close to his warm body. i imagine namjoons fingers are always kinda cold and at their best luke warm or hot and sweaty and taehyung seem to be always very warm and dry. namjoon get headaches from worrying too much and nibbling on his inner cheek in thoughts, taehyung has already moved from the foggy slumber of the past, got rid of the muddy finger prints on his white vest and is with one foot already in the newly fallen snow of the future, in his chest already bubbling excitement and aticipitation. vmon are the lecturing but kind words of an older person guiding and the younger reaching out and holding them in their steady embrace for a while knowing that even the wisest and oldest need nothing but a hug and a thankful smile from time to time.
so vmon is like the Ship of the Month but c’mon we all know bea HAS to have sidehoes (Me, A triple-biased Ship Wreck, ) so i’ll go in detail abt the others too fuck it why not:
JinMin ; ah yes sag+libra, they’re the kinds of sweets that look innocent and taste sweet and nice on first bite before some nasty kind of lemon STINGS into your tongue and you reconsider ever eating candy again bc how dare the sugar&sweets industry foaling you like this??? jinmin is this; effing libra park jimin being the cutest but also the most cunning out there, he KNOWS how to act and how to behave to have people liking him - but that doesn’t work when the person he’s trying to lull in acts like an actual 5y/o that just. isn’t having it. nopedy nop nope. this bangtan bomb is still everything to me bc i think their individual relationship comes out wonderfully as well as this vlive - truth be told both are reasons why my life improved 10% overall am not kidding. seokjin is the bigger brother chim never had and jimin the younger jin never had i think their sense of humour is rly similar (name one time when jimin pressured himself NOT to laugh at jins antics!), they’re the Gossip Girls out of these bunch of boyscouts and i love them for that! whenever one of them is whispering into the others ear it looks extra shady if you ask me &I LOVE IT! jimin sometimes looks so extra Done with Jin and he just continues going on his nerves like it’s a water slide &I LVOE IT! i also love how seokjin is older but let’s jimin (and everybody else) just have their ways from time to time, he isn’t too serious when he doesn’t needs to be and i think that puts the others at ease. they’re also Team Touchy though i’d say jimin is more of the physical support than jin bc jimin isn’t one to be all sappy with words but rather shows his concern and that he senses someone’s upset with simple, reassuring gestrues. he doesn’t play around like jin does when he’s bored or is all clingy and is glued to people like taehyung but he got his ways in immediately being close and having a hand on ones shoulder when they’re worried and i actually think jin learned a bit from chim when it comes to this? i mean yes he’s The (so claimed) Mom but he isn’t overly touchy but with the youngsters he is and i find that rly cute! they’re on one wave and the wave’s wild and high enough to happily sail on it :’^) i also read this lovely yet absolute heart-breaking (in the possibly best way) masterpiece and fell in love instantely
others i’m all HEART EYES for
Sope ; who isn’t in love with yoonseok. honestly. the pisces boy and his water bearer. when yoongi’s the deep dark water growing heavy and deadly hoseok is lightning buzzing through the halfway frozen surface, cracking ice and bringing light into the darkness which the water reflects in every direction to light it up. when hobi is all twitching nerves and fluid anxiety (and he’s all nerves to me; even when he’s talking in a quiet/low voice to calm ppl he’s talking incredibly FAST and his voice literally dances up&down he is just. A BUNDLE OF NERVES HE’S SUCH AN AQUARIAN) yoongi is reassuring deepness and calm and when yoongi’s depressed and without any motivation and everything and everyone is choking him to death and he feels like drowing hoseok is his light, oxygen and soul food. they’ve that super healthy relationship where they magically balance their downsides out smh?? that’s how i see them. they’re offering what the other is lacking and by that make a very strong unit. plus yoongi is really straight-forward and honest but he’s not one who’s all lovey dovey and shows how much he cares too obvious BUT WITH HOB HE IS EXACTLY THAT!!! i just rly love them but then again, who doesn’t?
Taejin ; Team Agegap - mhh both have a similar but different feeling to me but it’s all pure. they let jin be the child and are sUPER ANNOYED BY HIM sometimes when he wants to play around and they don’t want to! Seokjin is absolutely in love with taehyung (but then again who isn’t) and they can gET INCREDIBLY TOUCHY (possesive bf Tae at it everywhere, their mama stage??) with each another! plus the one and only thing i ever wrote is taejin lol for jinkook, i love that seokjin has that ability to lower himself. he’s the oldest and jeongguk the youngest yet i think they’re very close in the sense that jin is lowering himself and jeongguk likes to play the know-it-better& mess with his oldest hyung at times so they’re almost equal (plus team muscle pigs yay). these three are a bunch of pre-schoolers i wouldn’t want to take care of (am kidding pls pls let me play around with them!)
Double Wings ; Smol & Tol - namjin were the first that got me into reading bts fanfics (our sometimes tired, sometimes overly enthusiastic but 90% of the time emBARRASSING parents who gave the word Awkward its meaning (not bc they’re awkward with each other hell they’ve one of the best relationships you can have with someone who you’re not similar to in lots of ways), are absolutely, undeniably in el oh ve eh with each other), namjoon as the motivated, strict person that want and wants and wants and seokjin the actual fire sign telling the earth sign to CHILL for a second or two.. they just get me lots. minjoon is just. pure love. one of the least physical members and one of the touchiest, the smallest bundle that has his shell perfectly under control and the tallest that has everything but control over his long, slender limbs, don’t they make a nice meet&greet of opposites i love it!
and last but not least: Taeguk ! my sweet summer children, the youngest and most playful, partners in crime! they have your chest aching and heart longing for a soulmate you don’t know yet but want to have by your side already, they’re a refreshing summer breeze when you’re out in the midst of an autumn storm and they just give me that supper fuzzy, warm and very soft feeling inside where i either want to put them to bed and read them a bed time story of be out with them in the middle of a hot summer night, ripping out trees and yelling until it echoes to the moon and back. taehyung is warmth and steadiness when jeongguk is anxious and unsure, he’s an older brother that doesn’t mind playing the younger for a while and jeongguk is obviously the touchiest with taehyung (no surprise as taehyung IS the touchiest himself lol). i think the most fics i read (it’s not many but if i start one that i love i will read 20k in one go) is taeguk just bc it’s rly popular (which is understandable if you ask me?) and many talented ppl fell in love with them!
shoutout to 2seok & jikook for being underrated in their brother-like, more quiet charms and sugamon for putting up with one another for such a long time so they practically grew on one another, sugakookie where an Intro Big shows an Intro Smol that it’ll be okay being like this in an extroverted idol world AND vmin & namseok for being the typical same age liners where one of the “twins” constantely states “i’m like 2minutes older rESPECT ME YOU LITTLE SHIT!”
bangtan is one family and i love all their friendships/dynamics but those are my faves :’^) in the end nobody stans bts as much as taehyung bts anyways, right? THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME WASTE MY TIME I LOVED THIS
